1.1 Safety precautions when working on ve‐
hicles with start/stop system
Note the following when working on vehicles with start/stop sys‐
tem:
WARNING
Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with
start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).
1.2 Safety precautions when using testers
and measuring instruments during a
road test
Please note the following points if testers and measuring instru‐
ments have to be used while test driving the vehicle:
WARNING
Risk of accident due to driver distraction and if test equipment
is not secured safely.
Risk of injury if front passenger's airbag is triggered in an ac‐
cident.
• Operating test equipment when driving causes a distrac‐
tion.
• High risk of injury if test equipment is not secured safely.
♦ Always secure test equipment to rear seat with a strap; it
must be operated from there by a second person.
